Abstract

The ways of facing nostalgia and antagonism projected by artists involved in the Brazilian movement called tropicalismo seem to be the main premises which characterize the album Alucinação (1976), from the singer and composer Belchior. The thematic and aesthetic articulation of the album also provides a sort of internal, critical reflection on the countercultural movements from Brazilian popular music of the 1970s. We sought to identify aspects of a particular melancholy in this work by using theoretical contributions on cultural criticism.
